Throughout history, many women have asked questions about our world. When they were told, 'You can't', they replied: 'Try and stop me.'

Already a "New York Times" bestselling title, "Women In Science" is a beautifully illustrated collection of the pioneering women, both past and present, who have contributed to engineering, science, technology and mathematics - perfect to inspire the next generation! Ages: 9-11yrs

Though the number of women working in Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacture (STEM) is slowly on the increase, there is still a huge abscence of women pursuing jobs within the sector today. And that is exactly why young readers need a book like Women in Science! Ignotofsky explores a subject matter that is not only relevant but, in my opinion, essential for inspiring the next generation of female pioneers for the future. What I love most about the look and feel of this book is that it uses colorful infographics. It is, in no way, prissy or feminine. And with a real mixed bag of over fifty women discussed, with more mentioned at the back, you can't help but read it and think how great an addition it would be to any school library.
